Does the engine turn and not start, or not turn at all, or turn too slowly to start? Does it do it under certain conditions? Could be a problem with the battery, or the starter, or the wiring, or the electronics. 95 Contour Zetec, ATX (wrecked, sitting in the barn) 95 Mystique Zetec, MTX 2000 Taurus SEL 3.0L Duratec 1994 Crown Victoria LX 4.6 V8 1993 Chevy Silverado 4.3 V6

Plus, if you have PATS, things can get further screwed up. You really need to provide clear and concise descriptions of the car's problems. This will avoid playing "20 questions". The spark plugs cannot cause this problem. As always, you need to provide the year, engine, and transmission information. We are not psychic.
